The whales made us work for it today but heading as far North as we could we found this playful breacher getting some air time! 

It was beautiful on the water today and we can’t wait to see lots more active whales in the coming weeks!

This was a wonderful experience, with knowledgeable crew, and a very nice boat. Will do this again. It’s not the 1st whale watching sail I’ve done, but it is the best.

Nice work 👏

I guess we should have stayed in the harbour today! 🥹

Usually humpback whales swim straight past the harbour entrance on their way north, but occasionally they take a left hand turn and take the scenic route through the harbour.

After a lap or two, they usually find their way out again and continue their journey north! 🐳

Tomorrow isn't looking the best in terms of weather, with only our 9:45 cruise from Darling Harbour sailing, but from Saturday onwards we will FINALLY see some sunshine 🤞🌞

Wet, Windy and Wild out on the Tasman Sea today!

The whales mostly decided to keep their heads down, but the dolphins decided it was time for a show with some aerial antics! We had a few distance breaches, which tells us the action is starting to get get exciting!

There’s some big weather approaching for tomorrow but the weekend is looking promising. Come and join us for an adventure on the open ocean!

A beautiful late afternoon cruise today, joined by two whales casually heading North. We had great surface times and some nice close passes, with a tail thrown included and some fantastic albatross as an added bonus!

We’ll be out again tomorrow, we hope to see you there!

The suns shining, the conditions are perfect, and this little whale decided to give us a couple of breaches! Not bad for a Wednesday afternoon if you as us!

They’re back!!

What a beauty of a cruise that was! Our Discovery and Adventure cruises from Darling Harbour found a pod of what looked to be three juvenile Humpbacks heading North. We saw great surface times and even a surprise breach that caught us completely off guard!

It’s good to be back!!

When the whales return to Sydney the swifts and swallows arrive in Hastings UK.

Every year I sit for hours and hours, often in freezing winds....still haven't seen any
